Given:
Mr. Johnson sells erasers for $3 each. He sold 96 erasers last week and he sold 204 erasers this week.
Determine how much more money did he make last week.
Solution:
Solve for the amount of money earned each week, then subtract the two values.
= ($3)(96)
= $288
= ($3)(204)
= $612
= $612 - $288
= $324
Final answer:
Mr. Johnson made $324 in selling erasers compared to last week.
